NE Victoria’s Year 9 students are set to step out of their classrooms and into local farms, agribusinesses, clinics and hospitals

Following the identification of agriculture/horticulture and health care/social assistance as two of the sectors facing critical employment issues in the Hume Region Workforce Development Plan 2015–2018, the newly established Workforce Development Project seeks to change this situation by introducing Year 9 students to these industries through targeted and supported work placement, followed by School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships, and gap year employment.
